Not wanting a baby shower

Contributor: rosythorn rosythorn
I just went to a baby shower yesterday which almost didn't happen because the mother felt guilty about excepting gifts. So we made a small shower, only 7 people and just brought some small things, most of them used.

My question, does anyone else feel this way?

I love these sort of things! I love to give cute gifts like this! But I respect her wishes as well.

Insightful breakdown of Shower Dildo:

Are you a Shower or a Grower
To all the men on EF do you show the goods that genetics gave you or is it a nice surprise for your S.O to find out. ^.~ If you don't understand my..

Sex in the shower
Have you had sex in the shower? Ever slipped or come close to slipping? Does the lube work as well with water rushing over it?

#AskEden - Sex in the Shower Double Sided Suction Cup.. Discontinued?
Is this discontinued or out of stock? I was really hoping to pick one up to use with my toys.

Bridal shower or baby shower?
Which is more fun to attend?

I think you could help me with this one. I think I'd love it but what about any of my partners?

I have a cousin who doesn't really want to have a bridal shower because she doesn't want to be a bother and have someone go out of their way to throw her one.

My aunt is throwing me a bridal shower, and I'm looking at it as a fun way to celebrate with my family and friends. And if people want to get me gifts (stuff that I'll actually use), all the better!

I wouldn't want a large shower. Or one that lasted very long. But that's more to do with my personality.

I prefer smaller groups, don't particularly like being the center of attention, and being an introvert, I can only handle being around people for so long.

I would love it. Of course, if it was a second baby, it would be more for just getting together and playing silly games rather than receiving gifts.

Interesting..I'd probably feel the same way if I ever had kids. I hated baby showers at work, in the past, because I felt I had to chip in on gifts for someone I barely knew...not to mention how boring they are. I don't even let on it's my birthday outside of my home. Hate the attention.

I like parties but I can understand that. I would probably just ask people to come celebrate with me if I didn't want gifts.

When I had my bridal shower, I was blushing all day because I knew people bought me items for the house and a couple lingerie items, and I just felt so guilty that they spent their hard earned money on me, so I have requested that when I do get pregnant, and a baby shower is thrown, that I receive only cards.

I've never had a baby shower but I know a few woman who did. Some of them had problems accepting gifts because they really didn't like being a bother. I think it has to do with your state of mind. Some people just don't like the idea of having people buy gifts for them.

I only had one and it was with my first child. I felt uncomfortable and flat out said I would not have another one.

I wouldn't feel guilty. I'm pregnant and having a shower. I want people to celebrate my child coming into the world. If they want to just buy a $5 onesie, that's fine. If they want to spend more, that's appreciated too.

I wouldn't mind. Babies are expensive to get started.
